Buyers Must Beware When Purchasing Property and increase awareness of ?nancial aid opportunities. Fax: 440-647-8866
Q: I’m thinking of buying a home, and my friend says a house [email protected]
purchase is a “buyer beware” situation. What does that mean? For more information, contact LCCC’s Enrollment Services, 104 South Main Street
A: “Buyer beware,” also known as the doctrine of “caveat call (440) 366-4032. Wellington, Ohio 44090
emptor,” is an age-old doctrine. It means that, if you intend to
buy property, you generally bear the responsibility for ?nding Expires 2/28/15 Expires 2/28/15 Expires 2/28/15
out about the property’s condition before purchasing it. This
doctrine appears to place the entire risk on the shoulders of the
homebuyer, but only does so if 1) the condition of the property
is open to observation or discoverable upon reasonable inspec-
tion to the buyer; 2) the buyer had the opportunity to examine
the property; and 3) there is no fraud or wrongdoing on the part
of the seller.
Q: What do I, as a buyer, have to do about a defect that may
be found during a home inspection?
A: A defect that is open, observable and can be discovered
through inspection and inquiry is called a “patent defect.” You,
as a buyer, are responsible for making efforts to obtain all infor-
mation about such obvious defects or problems with the prop-
erty. Also, you will be held responsible and liable for all defects
that you could have discovered upon inspection, so make sure
you make reasonable efforts to view and inspect the property be-
fore buying it.
For example, you may notice such “patent” obvious defects
as large cracks in the concrete foundation of the home, a hole in
the roof or rotten wood on the home’s front porch. If you decide
to buy the home in spite of these obvious defects, you could not
later seek damages or a remedy against the seller for the costs
of repairing them. The burden is on you to notice these issues
before buying the property.
Q: What about defects that are not obvious?
A: The home may have “latent,” defects that are known to
the seller, but cannot be easily discovered by the buyer or may
present a dangerous condition. They are hidden in nature. As
an exception to the doctrine of the caveat emptor/buyer beware
doctrine, sellers must disclose latent defects to the buyer. This
requirement provides protection for the innocent buyer.
Latent defects are more complex than patent defects. For ex-
ample, if a leaking roof can only be noticed when it rains, and an
inspection shows no evidence of water damage, this would be
a latent defect. Similarly, if a septic tank produces a bad smell
occasionally, this would not be a readily observable problem. In
such instances the burden falls on the seller. If the seller fails to
disclose such issues, the buyer can seek a remedy, if necessary,
in court.
It is very important to retain a licensed property inspector
to inspect the property before purchase, and make the purchase
agreement contingent upon the property passing inspection. An
inspector has the knowledge, skills and experience necessary
to thoroughly evaluate the property and notice issues you may
never discover until it is too late.
A seller is also liable for fraud or misrepresentations to the
buyer. For instance, a seller cannot lie and tell the buyer the foun-
dation is in great condition if the seller knows it is in need of
repair or in danger of collapsing. Similarly, a seller cannot tell a
buyer a roof has never had any leaks if the seller has replaced the
ceiling’s drywall and paint to conceal the fact that the roof leaks
every time there’s a severe storm.
Q: What is an “as-is” clause?
A: In certain circumstances, a seller does not have to dis-
close latent defects. If a real estate agreement contains an “as-is”
clause, then the buyer assumes the risk that latent defects may
exist. An “as is” clause relieves the seller of any duty to disclose,
and means that the buyer cannot bring a lawsuit against the seller
for any passive non-disclosure.
For example, in Ferguson v. Cadle, 2009-Ohio-4285, the
court held that sellers had no liability under an “as is” home sale
